Indeed. That's great Concrete - I'm normally indifferent to flower pics, but that's explosive.

One page and five awesome pictures !

Just to change the trend, they are after all, just starting to look too good.

Was in Bristol for a meeting yesterday and on the walk back to the station found these cranes rather interesting. If only there were thunder clouds or a really blue sky in the background.

Leica M8, Summicron 35:2

To Cliff,

No offense , but despite having so many quality cameras you've got a lot to learn about the basic rules of photography(=writing with light).

regards,
Rob.

4 cranes in a line don't make a good picture....

Cliff,

Too much water to make it a good picture.

Rob, I have no idea who you are or what you know about anything, but I'm pretty sure that you know **** all about what I think makes an interesting picture. If you don't like the picture, why not say nothing.

One of the basic "rules" of photography is that repeating items do make for interesting subjects.

For me, photography is the exploration in reality of the rhythm of surfaces, lines, or values; the eye carves out its subject, and the camera has only to do its work. That work is simply to print the eye’s decision on film. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Ok, he's obviously better than me but hopefully you will get the point.


As for your too much water comment, presumably you would think that all the paintings by Winslow Homer are uniformally shite.

cheers
Cliff

It's just a shame Cliff could only capture no's 29-32, I'd have liked to have seen the full set.

I didn't have my 14mm Nikkor with me.
